 | | NQC & Spybot subroutine code generation bug
|
|
I have just received a report from a user that NQC programs containing subroutines do not execute correctly against the Spybot platform. I have confirmed that this is a problem with all versions of NQC which support the Spybot brick. This program: (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) I am admittedly biased toward BrickOS; however, I am wondering if you attempted to free some memory in BrickOS by disabling features that you didn't need?

(...) NQC compiles not quite C code into LEGO firmware opcodes. You download the .rcx result, and LEGO firmware interprets the program. This makes it slow. QuiteC and brickOS both use H8 native C compilers that spit out H8 assembly code directly. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Forgive a clueless question here, but is QuiteC different than NotQuiteC? If so where can I learn more about it? Thanks! The oldest mention of the term "QuiteC" I could find on LUGNET was only 3 weeks ago but MAYBE I'm searching wrong? see (...)

(...) Upon further review, it would appear that (at least on my machine and one other that I have heard about) the new release of BricxCC (3.3.7.7) does, in fact, correctly download the brickOS firmware. My previous tests were using an old copy of (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Unfortunately, BricxCC is still not downloading the brickOS firmware correctly. I will look into this problem and try to fix it. In the mean time, you can use firmdl3 which works correctly.

I've released version 3.3.7.7 of BricxCC today. It adds a Spybot EEPROM tool window. It adds a new configurable watch tool window. It adds a new generic set source value tool window. It adds a hot key (F2) for the pbForth console. The position of (...)
